Man who had 18 girlfriends narrates how he achieved success
He revealed that while in secondary school, he had at least 18 girlfriends in his kitty and was also a break dancer.
His words:
"Then, I was too social and had about 18 girlfriends in almost all schools. In those days, we always went to different schools for inter-house sports and I would want to have at least one girlfriend in any school we visited. I am talking of the 80s now. So, I think it was my social life."
Even after registering for GCE, he did not earn the required credits, so he travelled to Cote d'Ivoire and became a meat seller.
His failure in WAEC delayed his progress as his classmates overtook him, and he went to university before he did.
In an interview with The Punch Newspapers, Adewale said he returned to Nigeria in 1995 and made serious efforts to return to school.
He was admitted to the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, in 1997 and graduated first-class.
Adewale went on to excel in life despite the initial setback in his WAEC. He is now a PhD holder and lecturer at the University of Lagos (UNILAG).
